You're both right, of course. Right know I'm quite comfy with external keyboard, mouse, speakers and displays. But for travels, I only take the notebook. ;) And the volume is ridiculously high. I think I have to set the master to 2 (from 100), otherwise I'd be deaf by now. I just installed the original (Windows 8.1) driver provided by ASUS, and it made things worse: Now it seems that changing the volume in SLX not only changes the volume but also equalizes things. On low volumes there's barely any low frequencies, just high frequencies, on high volumes it's the other way round. This only affects this Conexant adapter. The Intel Audio driver (which is gone now, after I installed the Conexant drivers. WHY.) doesn't sport this behavior. Maybe it's just the driver that never got updated to work with recent systems. As for the noise: Maybe it really is the graphics adapter. But I disabled all recording devices. Where should Windows get information about the noise? And why only from squeezelite?
